I keep getting a PHP warning message when I try to export results as a PDF. The error is specifically on line 65 of the PdfWriter.php file. Here's the error:

Missing argument 2 for pdf::addGidAnswer(), called in /*********/application/helpers/admin/export/PdfWriter.php on line 65 and defined

The argument is $sGroupDescription. Any ideas?

If I turn off debug errors in the config.php file (set to 0), it will work but then I can't access any other page on the site because it will throw a 500 error.

I'm running Version 2.06+ Build 150930 on PHP 5.2.

I'd appreciate any insight anyone has with this error. I can post a screenshot of the error and stack trace if needed.

You should first look into the problem that requires you to keep debug mode on.

The problem is probably LS 2.06+ with PHP 5.2. It requires 5.3 or later:
manual.limesurvey.org/Installation#Make_...rvey_on_your_website

Please update your PHP version. If the problem still persists, please file a bug report at our bugtracker.

Thanks for the help. I checked and my server is actually running 5.3 already as opposed to 5.2.

Not really sure what to do at this point. Like I mentioned before when I turn off debugging I can generate a PDF fine but can't access any other pages in the site. Then if I turn debugging back on I can access the pages but not generate the PDF.

I might start fresh and do a clean install and create a new database to see if that helps.

Hi,

This seems really strange : do you have the access of the server error log ?
If yes : can you look the apache/ngynx/php error log to see what happen when you have the white page.

PS: have an idea .....
Set debug off and add this to your application/config/config.php: At the same level tha 'urlManager' (just after).

Which exact PHP version do you use?

I think LS 2.06 does not only require PHP 5.3 but 5.3.3 to be more precise.

Interesting. Here's what that returned:

Internal Server Error

Property "LSYii_Application.clientScript" is read only.

An internal error occurred while the Web server was processing your request. Please contact the webmaster to report this problem.

Thank you.

Ok, so the server is running PHP 5.3.24. Will try updating to 5.4 to see if that helps.

Well, I updated to 5.4 and re-uploaded all the software and I'm still getting the error on PDF export.

On the server logs I'm getting this:

[Tue Oct 06 20:22:32 2015] [4978273] [core:error] [client xxx.xx.xxx.xx:49484] AH00124: Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace., referer example.com/index.php?r=admin/export&sa=...d=667831&statfilter=

I don't think it's LS related ... more a vhost related.

But here is the log for export, can you look at the error log for other part with debug at 0.

Hi,
Maybe you already solved this but I got across this problem today and I solved it.

The solution is to set the group description parameter as optional in file /application/libraries/admin/pdf.php in line 726
function addGidAnswer($sGroupName, $sGroupDescription="", $bAllowBreakPage=false)
